Derboesekoenig Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Great, another overpriced robusto. I'll end up trying singles, but only because it's a Diplo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presa_dad Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 With it being a Diplo, I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian cigar taxes are so insane these days, it stuns me that they even bother doing Regional releases there anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather have one of these RE, or two CoRo, or even 4 of any other robusto. Same cost either way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Well it isn't released yet. It could be mind-blowing--ya never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabes Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It certainly could be phenomenal, you are right. The cost benefit ratio isn’t there for me personally. I find more satisfaction in persuing excellent regular production than chasing RE/LE which are here today, gone tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 at $40CAD/stick they are all yours. maybe we will find some here trough PCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be mistaken, but I believe Pacific Cigar and Havana House have a relationship. If so, I don't know what that would mean regarding prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It's a collectors item as I suspect it will be the last (or second last) Canadian Regional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 They will sell well in Toronto and Montreal, I bet. Visitors from all over the world will buy them at LCDH and take them home. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfica_77 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'm interested but it will all depend on the price. Might grab a couple singles just as a collectors item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgeybaby Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I guarantee they will be more than CAD 40.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same cost either way. Are you kidding? A Coro is like 45$ or more in Montreal. Pds4 is like 35 You have no idea how good you have it, wherever it is you are. Edit: I don't know who the hell buys boxes of cigars in Canada. I buys singles at my local B&M cause I like the guy and he has some oldish stock he'll hook you up with if he sees you know what your talking about and figures out your tastes. But Boxes? I imagine it's only rich people who don't smoke and buy cigars as status symbols, or tourists who don't know any better. I can't imagine that a guy that can afford buying boxes locally doesn't have ways of procuring Cubans easily at a better price.

This is interesting. Why do you say that? Actually- I know exactly why. Plain Packaging negates a double bander for sure. Of course. I'll certainly try a couple singles from my local B&M to support the local merchants, but that box price is certainly a little rich for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 $40 CAD is cheap for a Robusto here. A D4 is $35. Same with a RASS. CORO is closer to $60. I have a feeling this cigar is going to be much more than $40. It won't be cheaper than a CORO (I doubt) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Funny, I can get Dip Excelencia for well under $300 a box right now...and it's quite possibly the exact same cigar except with 3 years less on it. HSA's pricing is really getting out of hand on some of these ERs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
